Fun car, terrible track.
Really wanted that top 100 but it just wasn't happening, I could get individual sectors and corners really good, but never a whole lap. Very frustrating.
I had this suspicion when they announced this track was coming to the game. It is very obviously designed for high downforce race cars, and doesn't really work for anything other than that. So many corners are just awkwardly partial throttle trying to ease round the corner until you can put the power down because you don't have enough downforce to take the corner flat out. The chicane is another annoyance, with the fastest line being to thread the needle between the kerb and the bollard, missing that invalidates the lap or turns the car into a pogo stick.
The entirety of Sector 3 is just awkwardly fumbling around low speed corners and abusing track limits, attempting to get the car to turn in towards the apex, and then struggling to put the power down afterwards.
At least the Espace is a pleasure to listen to and feels pretty neutral to drive for the most part. Could do with a bit more turn in and better suspension set up for low speed.
Definitely volume up for this lap.
Looking forward to the Mines BNR34 around Tsukuba, seems like a fun combo. Probably give Gr1 at Spa a quick try first to get it out of the way.
...
Not particularly sold on how this car feels, I found it pretty annoying to drive, especially how it completely dies on the kerbs. Trying to drag it through the hotel section was genuinely awful.
